I agree. Alas his later stuff went a bit flat. I have read all of his books but his earlier stuff outshines his later novels..

Assuming you are reading them in sequence you only have Blood's A Rover to read to finish his Underworld USA trilogy and then you can get Perfidia which is set before the LA Quartet in 1941.
